Stereopsis is a genus of fungi in the family Stereopsidaceae.^[1] It was formerly placed in the family Meruliaceae in the order Polyporales but was found to belong in its own order along with the genus Clavulicium.^[1] The genus was circumscribed by English mycologist Derek Reid in 1965.^[2] It contains species that form funnel shaped basidiocarps as well as the corticioid species Stereopsis globosa which was formerly considered a species of Clavulicium.^[1] The species Stereopsis humphreyi and Stereopsis vitellina were found to belong in the Agaricales and Atheliales respectively in a molecular phylogenetics study, and because of this do not belong in Stereopsis, but they have not yet been transferred to their own genera.^[1]
